actiph<br />
There is a cool story about the UK’s first<br />
alkaline, ionised water drink (widely available<br />
in supermarkets like Morrisons and<br />
newsagents WH Smiths) created by Jamie<br />
Douglas-Hamilton. The Scotsman was part<br />
of a crew of six that rowed 5000 miles<br />
across the Indian Ocean from Australia to<br />
India burning up to 10,000 calories a day.<br />
In that time they started to mix fresh water<br />
with a little salt water to replace key minerals.<br />
The experience prompted Douglas-<br />
Hamilton to investigate hydration further<br />
and after research in Japan with ionised<br />
water he founded his own brand.<br />
Actiph is bottled from a spring water source<br />
in Shropshire. They add their unique formula<br />
of electrolytes and minerals and the<br />
ionisation is done by ‘electrically charging<br />
the water using platinum and titanium<br />
plates, we can strip out the sour tasting<br />
acidic ions’.<br />
The result is a strangely smooth taste and,<br />
odd as it sounds, water that’s very easy<br />
to drink – and we know, having consumed<br />
several bottles at the British MXGP at Matterley<br />
Basin this year where the Actiph<br />
team had plenty of samples. Thanks to the<br />
likes of British Championship leader Shaun<br />
Simpson and the Bike it Dixon Racing Team<br />
Actiph is making inroads into MXGP. We can<br />
also vouch for the bottle itself with a quality<br />
plastic locking cap meaning it’s an ideal<br />
choice for taking to the gym or a sports<br />
field.<br />
